Description

Every human being has a multitude of faces that compose his or her character: anger, intelligence, love, jealousy, helplessness, and courage. We often judge these aspects as either positive or negative, yet we fail to recognize that we need each of them in order to be complete and balanced. In a lively style, Satir demonstrates that the key to self-acceptance and transformation lies in learning to acknowledge, appreciate, and ultimately take control of our 'many faces.'

Reviews

"Satir is far more than an author in this remarkable book: she's a tour guide, an analyst, a companion, an adventurer, and a coach. Her roles are as diverse as our 'faces'but all of them help us see our own uniqueness and potential."Arthur M. Bodin, PhD, Senior Research Fellow at the Mental Research Institute "In this groundbreaking work, Satir demonstrates her creative genius by turning a complex psychological concept into a simple, powerfully practical metaphor for personal growth and integration."John Banmen, RMFT, Director of Training at the Satir Institute of the Pacific and coauthor of The Satir Model: Family Therapy and Beyond
